False reporting and automated ban

You shouldn’t be afraid to talk in trade, but perhaps stick to actual trade related talk there. … If your chat is considered as spam by the denizens of your realm they will report it as such. Sorry.

Why do you act like it’s one person silencing you, you’re clearly annoying enough that a large chunk of your server doesn’t want to hear you.

I wasn’t talking about talking in Trade, Prufinnor. I was talking about my personality, as a whole.

I’m not. I’m stating, if I’m “annoying”, you put me on Ignore. I don’t deserve to be punished because you (in general, including others that are on the same boat) don’t like me. I get to play this game, as much you guys do.

Now, kindly, leave me alone, and don’t engage with me. And you won’t be bothered by my “presence”.

We also of course only have your word that you were merely being annoying as opposed to actually breaking the TOC in some way.

As of this moment, we weren’t talking about me being “punished”. You made it clear, that you find me “annoying”, and that’s fine. I, also, sense that you wish there was something you can do about it, punishment wise. A simple Ignore isn’t good enough, for you, and that’s what disheartens me the most.

Now, since you do find me “annoying”, why don’t we talk about what exactly bothers you, about me? I’d like to know, so I can better explain why I do, what I do and perhaps get a change going. Silencing me isn’t going to “change” me. I’m going to appeal it and keep being me, until I annoy the next person (in general and moreso, obviously), that doesn’t confront me with their issues and just Reports me, in the hopes that others follows suit.

That doesn’t teach me a “lesson”, in what I did, when I’m not using Language, making Racial remarks nor Spamming, so what is it?

:thinking:

You keep acting like it’s me personally silencing you and I don’t know why. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered you in game so I can hardly judge that, all I know is that whatever you’re doing apparently your server doesn’t like and you keep doing it.

Mellga, we’ve already talked about your racist remarks. You are just another one of these dishonest crybabies.

You’re acting like people dislike you for no reason, but the reason is actually your racist remarks, the fact that you’re obviously opposing this system because you want to behave in a similarly trollish annoying way in classic, and that you’re evasive and dishonest in general. There’s no way to have a real conversation with you. You are exactly the type of person who will be squelched in classic, and you will likely try to cry about it on the forums like the people linked above. And just like them, a blue will likely come in to pwn you about how you deserve it and that will be that.

The third post in that thread is from a blue.

here is that post:

"I’m not entirely certain what you are referring to, Daish. The label on the channel is a suggestion, not a rule. It doesn’t violate policy to discuss non-Trade related issues in that channel.

With that said, spam and other policy violations can be actioned when reported, so keep that in mind."

Yes, they did also say that “spam and other policy violations can be actioned when reported”. Notice the key word “can” and NOT “will”.

That comes back to “spam and other chat violations” being subjective (in the eye of the beholder) with the final decision resting in Blizzard’s hands.

I take it you were silenced and not just squelched.

The funny thing is that I have repeatedly stated that I want “chat offenders” punished. I simply want that punishment to imposed by BLIZZARD, NOT players.

Ziryus apparently will not accept anything other than a system in which players can conspire to squelch any other player at any time for whatever slight they think they had to suffer.

Ziryus, however, will not accept a system that would hold EVERY player accountable for their actions and punish every player that submitted a false report.

You didn’t answer my question.

I’m not, I’m generalizing and speaking hypothetically. You did make the claim that I’m annoying, so I want to know.

A) It wasn’t a Racist Remark (Singular).

B) One time does not equal “Remarks” (Plural), so please don’t put that out there, that my reference was multiple occasions. It wasn’t.

I didn’t say they didn’t like me for “no reason”, I’m trying to figure out what that reason is.

Once again, it wasn’t a “Racial Remark”. Again, it was only one occasion. Please stop equating the one time as multiple occasions. I don’t appreciate you putting that thought out there, that I do this repeatedly because I don’t. I don’t even think you even read the situation. You took it as opportunity to paint me as a “Racist” without evidence/proof and subtlety trying to publicly “name and shame” me, and I don’t appreciate it. Along with all the other things you’re accusing me of, that you have no evidence of. If you have evidence that I’m a “Racist”, on more than one occasion then share it. Otherwise, you’re making all of this up.

Again, it was appealed. A GM reviewed the Post that had the one moment that I ever said anything remotely (keyword) on a “Racist” level and appealed it. Why? Because I wasn’t being a “Racist”, as you so claim.

Nope, just Squelched. Again, it has no involvement whatsoever with Trade Chat. I don’t think any of you guys are reading what I’m saying, other than Ziryus.

I suggest y’all read what I’m actually saying instead of not reading and jumping to false conclusions, about me. I don’t appreciate the accusations.

We don’t know how many people it takes to trigger a squelch, let alone if it requires a “large chunk” of the server.

If it only takes 10 people submitting reports to trigger a squelch, how does 10 people equate to a “large chunk” of the server?

Note, I am not saying that I know it only takes 10 people to trigger a squelch. I am using that number as an example.

I can see that you didn’t read the link I posted.

:slight_smile:

And you’re not reading my post, either. Let me, also, be clear, it was appealed. If it was appealed, then I wasn’t breaking CoC because guess what, I never actually said the word. I can prove Missuspowpow (using an example, not an invitation to talk to me) referenced the same word I said, more than once and was using it as example, just like I was (only one time, I didn’t repeat it).

So how is it, Players want me to be Silenced but not Missuspowpow?

Wouldn’t that be easily deduced by the notice of your squelches? I am assuming that when actioned you are provided what you were actioned for, be it the squelch or GM silenced.

Once again, it doesn’t actually tell me. It’s all vague. And again, majority of the time, they’re appealed.

We’ve already gone over this, and I already expressed, Silencing me doesn’t change me.

I’m confused. You said you were squelched, not silenced; why are you talking about a Post?

Annoying does not warrant preventing another player being able to play the game; this is why we have the ability to IGNORE people in game.

OR do you think it’s ok for people to DDOS each other? Because honesty that’s what this is at a fundamental level.

I am still wondering how often you are getting actioned via squelch or silence. Please understand that when you write things like “most of them” and “majority of the time”, it paints a picture of it being somewhat of a common occurance.

Also, if you do not know what you are being actioned for, how do you know which to appeal?

Glad I am not the only one confused. Are we lumping forum actions into the mix, and if so… why?
